Well played Liverpool for beating Hull so comprehensively. We could have scored 10! There should have been a penalty for handball, Babel should have had a hat-trick and Voronin was unlucky with his header. Aquilani is to come in along with Aurelio, Agger, Spearing, Kelly and Ngog. Torres is fantastic - he scores goals so easily.

One Final Safe Pair of Hands ; Under the Hammer

'WHAT an interesting job you have,' people always say when they meet me or, as was said to me last night by a senior church cleric, 'How can you bear to part with nice objects; you must be very sorry to see them leave the auction rooms'. The answer to the second remark is simple: yes. The reason we are in the business in the first place is because we like fine quality antique objects and it is sad to say goodbye to a lot of them.
